> [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > Try not to smile to this on a hot summer day: Lighthouse - [“Sunny Days”](https://youtu.be/5dAb_TyzAj8) By the way, you’re absolutely right about Lighthouse; I completely forgot they did “Sunny Days,” which is a classic song and can’t be left off. That song alone would merit inclusion. If we were keeping this to 3 discs I’d dump another 80s white guy band, like Honeymoon Suite, who I have no problem with or anything but we have too many bands like that. I admit my mix CDs also almost completely omit: 1. Quebecois music, which I simply am not sufficiently informed about, and 2. Straight up country music, which I simply hate. Oh, and we both forgot Sloan. This is actually a much harder exercise than I thought, and if I did it again today I’d probably come up with very different mixes. Honestly, I’d like to make a 5-disc set at this point. ---

Straight up country music, which I simply hate. No worries man; you’re not alone. [Brendan Kelly: English Canada continues to ignore the country’s franco culture](http://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/music/brendan-kelly-english-canada-continues-to-ignore-the-countrys-franco-culture) Quebec-Separatists are gleeful in claiming that Canada ‘appropriates/assimilates’ Quebecois cultural elements in creating a wider Canadian identity while Quebec-Canadians are angry that ROCains are not assimilating enough of Quebec’s cultural elements… Bienvenue au Quebec; where culture is a serious political issue. ---
